About 3 Hillcrest Drive

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

3 Hillcrest Drive is a detached house in Cuxton, Rochester, Rochester (ME2 1AA). It has a recorded floor area of 53 m² (around 570 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (April 2012) shows a C (score 76), near the top of the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 89).

Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £318,000 sits 267.6% above the 1999 sale of £86,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£152/sq ft) was about 42.8% below the postcode norm. At 53 m² it sits well below the postcode median (87 m² across 18 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally.
